Bug Description

[Impact]

Custom keyboard shortcut bindings involving the Meta key are ignored.

[Test Case]

  1. Go to Settings -> Configure Shortcuts...
  2. Find the New Tab action for konsole
  3. Under the Shortcut column, set a Custom shortcut to Meta-T
  4. Click OK
  5. Hit Meta-T
  6. Observe that konsole emits "\030@st" (where "\030" is the ASCII cancel character, AKA Ctrl-X or ^X) to the terminal rather than creating a new tab

[Other Info]

This is a regression from Utopic (14.10).

Before Plasma 5, I was using the keyboard shortcut Meta+E to open Dolphin in the current working directory. Now, it displays the super (meta) button as a "s" letter in terminal window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open konsole and assign "Open file manager" shortcut to Meta+E
2. Press Meta+E buttons
3.

Actual Results:
$
::1 ff00::0 ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ip6-localnet ip6-mcastprefix localhost
fe00::0 ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ip6-localhost ip6-loopback kubuntu
~$ se

is displayed.

Expected Results:
It should launch file manager.

Hello,

I experience the same problem! It actually doesn't happen when I click the super key alone. I have to click it in combination with another letter-key.

It is also interesting to note that even though I swap my super key with my ctrl key (I use a mac), it still prints a 's' when I press the super/cmd key. I do the mapping with Xmodmap which works actually very well. The only problem is this 's' printing thing.

It would be really great if someone could help us.
